The following paragraph of the resolution of the Council of People's Commissars 
"On the Moscow Higher State Artistic-Technical Workshops," adopted on 18

"Students admitted are considered to be fulfilling educational service 
under supervision of classes on the basis of special rules, which 
must be established by Glavkomtrud jointly with the Commissariat of Enlightenment 
within a two-week period and submitted for approval to the Council of People's

FROM TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS 
BETWEEN V. I. LENIN and I. V. STALIN*
Not later than 20 November 1920
Without convening the Politburo I cannot give any answer. 
I advise you either to submit a concrete proposal immediately 
and at once raise it in the Politburo, or act yourself 
on the precise basis of the powers Stalin possesses, or, 
finally, to hasten your arrival in Moscow for the resolution of the entire 
Caucasian question as a whole. In any case it is necessary 
to strengthen and accelerate the approach of reinforcements and inform [me] what 
exactly your decision is.
Lenin
To Lenin. Reply to the note. I am leaving for Mo­
scow tonight. I am giving Ordzhonikidze instructions to conduct preliminary 
work and await directives from Moscow. I will speak with the front 
about accelerating the transfer.
